This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Österman, Emil M., Hopkins, Tapani, Sääksjärvi, Ilari E., Kaunisto, Kari M., van Noort, Simon (2026): On the genus Sericopimpla Kriechbaumer, 1895 (Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae) in the Afrotropics, with the description of a new species. ZooKeys 1268: 325-336, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1268.181918AbstractSericopimpla Kriechbaumer, 1895 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae) is a moderately large Darwin wasp genus distributed mostly in the Paleotropics and Australasian region. Here, we describe a new Afrotropical species of the genus, S. kibalensis sp. nov., and provide notes on the intraspecific variation of the other known Afrotropical species: S. sericata (Kriechbaumer, 1895). We record the genus for the first time from Uganda, based on specimens collected with Malaise traps in Kibale National Park.
